Step 5Construct Garment Shell
First, add any pockets (step picture one). I chose a simple small patch pocket based off my husband's recommendations - he wants any outerwear I sew to include a pocket for his iPod shuffle.
Sew the crotch seam and reinforce (picture two). I used a mock flat-felled seam because real flat-felled are sort of tricky on curves. Fold over and sew the raw edges of outseams and inseams (picture three). Note I am not finishing the edges since Gore-Tex has minimal fraying.
Construct ties: I topstitched 1/4" channels in the 1" strips wrong sides together and carefully cut close to seams (pictures four and five). Cut ties into four 10" strips and knot ends.
